I...Aye, you've made a good start to the season. I put a fiver on both the teams for first retirement, so that was nice. <br /><br />Hard to feel too irritated given the tiny red margins for most of the races (the worst was only down one stake, and since then I've, net, lost half a stake). It's almost like a prologue before the season starts properly.<br /><br />Significant shifts to look out for in Spain:<br />McLaren points, possibly top 6 [think this might happen]<br />Ferrari closing on Mercedes [possible but could go the other way]<br /><br />I forget which race, but Force India are getting a B-spec car (which should be a lot faster). That may shove them up the grid a fair way.Thaddeus Whitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558661752392463861.post-33270537909414228842015-04-19T19:33:11.674+01:002015-04-19T19:33:11.674+01:00A repost of my comment and book from the previous ...A repost of my comment and book from the previous post<br />----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Well that went a lot better than it might have.<br />My Grosjean bet came off partially and I was one place off both parts paying out.<br />Obviously only one of the Constructors bets would come good and in fact both cars failed just to reinforce the biggest win :)<br />We will never mention my Hulkenburg idea again in polite company.<br /><br />All in all, a profit of 70% which has cheered me up immeasurably!<br /><br />The details of the bets: <br /><br />Points Finish – Nico Hulkenberg @ 5/4 - 1 Point LOSE<br />Points Finish – Felipe Nasr @ 11/10 - 1 Point LOSE<br />Top 6 Finish – Romain Grosjean @ 3/1 - 1 Point LOSE<br />Points Finish – Romain Grosjean @ 2/5 - 2 Points WIN <br />First Constructor Retirement – Red Bull @ 6/1 - 2 Points LOSE<br />First Constructor Retirement – Toro Rosso @ 7/1 - 2 Points WIN <br />Race Winner – Sebastian Vettel @ 5/2 - 2 Points LOSE<br />Race Winner – Lewis Hamilton @ 4/9 - 1 Point WINGeoffMnoreply@blogger.com
